Global Collapse

Chapter 304's title isn't gory at all [Third Update]

Since they've already taken action against her using her real name, Gu Mian can no longer pretend to be clueless.

He had just opened his mouth to say something like, "That doesn't exist, eat shit."

A bedroom door suddenly creaked open, interrupting his impending disrespectful remarks.

A head peeked out from behind.

He is a fortune teller.

The fortune teller was momentarily stunned by the scene in the hall.

I just found the name card in my room, so why did I see this scene as soon as I came out?

The doctor and Sweet Teacher were standing in the middle of the hall, looking like they were about to fight at any moment. She had no idea that players had become so powerful that they could beat up NPCs. Were they out of their minds?

"Hehe," she chuckled awkwardly, "what are you two talking about?"

The sweet teacher smiled at the fortune teller: "We're talking about my outstanding employee who was kidnapped."

A top employee who was abducted? The fortune teller's mind went blank. She recognized the words, but she couldn't understand them when put together.

Then, the doctor uttered something that was quite perplexing—

"If you're in a hurry to see him, I can try my best to find a way to reunite you two."

Sweet Teacher: "..."

She shut her mouth and didn't want to say anything more.

Seeing that Teacher Sweetie was no longer speaking, Gu Mian happily left the hall.

The fortune teller standing in front of the door looked at the sweet teacher who suddenly shut her mouth in confusion, then looked at Gu Mian's departing figure, and decided to follow her.

Just as Gu Mian stepped out the door, the person behind her caught up.

The fortune teller came running up to her, panting, and asked, "Do you know that sweet teacher? You seem to know her quite well."

That's impossible. How could a player know an NPC in a dungeon?

She thought to herself, "And each dungeon will be reset after it's cleared, right?"
Before Gu Mian could reply after the fortune teller finished speaking, she heard two male voices coming from behind her, seemingly arguing about something.

"The amusement park is nearby, I think we should go there."

"No, I think we should find a place to eat first."

"Let's go to the amusement park first."

"eat first."

……

The argument continued unabated. Gu Mian turned around and saw that the two potential candidates following behind the fortune teller were arguing.

Gu Mian was somewhat surprised: "The people who follow you are all quite lively."

This is so realistic, they actually started fighting?
The fortune teller chuckled: "Those two have fought at least three times since the beginning. You really can't tell they might be ghosts."

Gu Mian fell into deep thought. Why were the four people who followed her so lifeless, and why wasn't anyone fighting or anything like that...?

Seemingly understanding that Gu Mian didn't want to discuss what had just happened, the fortune teller smiled slightly: "The weather is very nice today..."

The weather in this instance is indeed very nice.

Stepping out of the house, you can see a clear blue sky with large clouds drifting slowly overhead. The sunlight shines down, and even the breeze feels warm. "It's an auspicious day for divination," the fortune teller says with a smile. "How about I do a reading for you?"

Gu Mian hesitated.

Do fortune tellers all have this kind of fetish? Just randomly grabbing someone in a dungeon and offering to do a fortune telling?

Seeing through Gu Mian's thoughts, the fortune teller explained, "To be honest, do you know about class-specific dungeons? As long as you pass the test of a class-specific dungeon, you can be given the corresponding class, and I was fortunate enough to obtain the class of fortune teller..."

Gu Mian stroked his chin; when it came to class-based dungeons, he was actually quite familiar with them.

I still remember that he accidentally killed a doctor in that dungeon.

The fortune teller continued, "Since I only recently acquired this profession, I can only perform one divination session per day. Therefore, I need to practice on some unusual people. You can do it here; it won't take up much time. Just treat it as a small interlude in the dungeon."

"Why don't you calculate it for yourself?" Gu Mian asked.

The fortune teller presented a crystal ball the size of a baby's head: "Due to my profession, I cannot divine my own fate; and even when I divine for others, I cannot predict specific events, I can only divine randomly."

Does this mean I wanted to have my love life predicted, but you predicted I'd be hit by a car and die tomorrow?
However, it's not a bad thing to have your fortune told by this diviner; you might even get some useful information.

Gu Mian agreed.

But shortly after the divination began, he realized that things were not so simple...

"Hey..." The fortune teller was still closing his eyes to feel the crystal ball in front of him when he heard the doctor on the other side suddenly say "Hey."

She interrupted Gu Mian: "Don't make a sound, just wait a little longer."

The doctor on the other end was still speaking, but this time his voice seemed a little distant: "No..."

The fortune teller frowned and emphasized again, "Don't make a sound..."

But fate had other plans; before she could finish speaking, a loud noise erupted right in front of her.

It was a loud explosion.

The noise was so loud that it even startled the sweet teacher inside the house. She quickly went to the door and saw a woman standing there, stunned.

There were also some shards of glass scattered at her feet.

It seems that some glassware was just blown up.

At this moment, Gu Mian was standing at a distance and said insincerely, "I already told you to wait, but I didn't expect your crystal ball to have the function of exploding."

"Impossible!" the fortune teller shouted, shaking his head in protest. "Crystal balls absolutely do not have such a function!"

Gu Mian shrugged: "It couldn't have exploded just because they didn't like me, could it?"

After saying that, he didn't intend to stay at the explosion site any longer: "It's getting late. Since your crystal ball has exploded, I'll take my leave first."

The four people who were with him were waiting for him not far away. At this moment, the expressions of these four people were no different from those of a fortune teller. It seemed that they had witnessed the explosion. Gu Mian looked at their expressions and quickly walked towards the four people.

The fortune teller remained where he was, watching Gu Mian's figure grow farther and farther away until it disappeared.

"I've done fortune telling for many people, but I've never encountered anything like an explosion!"

"Today was truly a nightmare!"

Chapter titles can't be too gory! A saw head is out of the question!
